In the 1960s, there were plenty of influences—and turmoil both at home and abroad (including significant civil rights movements and war protests) that appeared in cultural expression. High fashion popularized the mini and more "mod" styles, while we still had major classic influences thanks to Jacqueline Kennedy (and Queen Elizabeth!). With the advent of the sexual revolution came the bikini and the "flower child" flamboyance of the late '60s, including androgyny for both men and women.
